BK Virus

Hi

I am wondering if anyone has any info on the BK Virus. My recipient recently found out that he has this virus now, and since there is no treatment for it, all they can do is to adjust the IS drugs down so that his immune system can fight the BK virus. Does anyone have information on this, or did they have this problem? And if so, how have you managed it? Thanks for responding.
